His faith points had stabilized and were now at a respectable 10 in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deciding to capitalize on this surge, Sunny made two swift interventions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used 2 faith points to subtly decrease the resources in the sea, intensifying the evolutionary pressure on the now multicellular aquatic life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a more significant expenditure, he channeled 4 faith points to increase the nutrient availability on the newly exposed landmasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was clear: to entice the microcellular algae, and soon the nascent multicellular forms, to venture onto land and evolve into early fungi or plants, charting a path toward terrestrial life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his divine work set in motion for the immediate future, Sunny disengaged from direct observation of Veridia and opened the God Chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh! I am truly bored. I can't just look at the algae growing; it was fascinating at first, but now it is just the same thing again and again,\" typed a God named 'Black Tongue', echoing a sentiment many must have felt after the initial novelty wore off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a chilling System notification rang worldwide, appearing simultaneously for all the Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Global Notification]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All Gods! Every day there will be one major misfortune on your world.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It can be plagues, disasters, and many other mystic misfortunes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[And death due to Misfortune will not provide any faith points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Players can use their Faith points to prevent the misfortune.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Be ready, Gods!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chat exploded in a torrent of furious messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Curse you, Black Tongue!\" typed a God, followed by countless others echoing the sentiment, blaming the bored deity for tempting fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it, guys! I think this is added to prevent idle Gods which doesn't have any lifeforms,\" offered a more pragmatic voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree with the god upstairs,\" another chimed in, offering a philosophical, albeit unsettling, explanation. \"According to the conservation of energy, we all transported from Blue Star will require a lot of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And making us God, which means a near-immortal existence, will also require a lot of energy. This energy will be gained back using the misfortune, either through the death or the paid fee from the Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't that mean we are just livestock? To farm faith points or energy?\" a voice of despair questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upstairs, what were you in the Blue Planet? You were probably also a livestock there. For me, it is a new life; instead of dying of hunger there, I would like to live like a God here.\" The blunt, almost brutal realism of this last message silenced the chat. The implication, that their previous lives were no less a form of \"livestock,\" struck a deep, uncomfortable chord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the silence was soon broken by a familiar, desperate plea. \"Bigshots, you forgot about humble me. I still had a chance gaining life forms by waiting. But now, a day will mean about 27 years (planetary), and without divine intervention, it will not be enough to evolve a life form. How will I tackle misfortune?\" The irony was sharp; how could a misfortune affect a world devoid of life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What misfortune can you even face? You don't have a lifeform, so what can plague and disasters even do?\" a God retorted, highlighting the chilling reality of having nothing to lose. The chat again went back to silent, a profound, existential quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny chuckled darkly, a detached amusement at the irony playing out. The misfortune notification was a brutal twist, adding a new layer of challenge and urgency to their godhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then noticed the number of active Gods in the chat: just about 300,000. \"System, why, instead of 8 billion population of Blue Planet, are only 300,000 here?\" he queried, the discrepancy striking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In this Universe there are only 300,000 Gods. And the Other Gods are in Different Universe.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny's eyes widened, a cold certainty settling in his divine awareness. \"Doesn't that mean the Gods will eventually clash with each other to expand and control their whole universe?\" Sunny surmised, a grim realization dawning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been dimly aware of this potential issue from the start, a subtle undercurrent in the \"Multiverse of Gods\" title, but the immediate, all-consuming task of evolving life had pushed such grand, interstellar conflicts to the back of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the universe clarified as a finite, shared space, the true long-term game had just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survival wasn't just about evolving his world; it was about preparing for inevitable, divine warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>",977,"2026-06-03T13:55:08.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","be3aa28d5672300453ab93c11ccec029dfcab6fb1dbb21fa03a1d2ab879efaa6","global-gods-skill-resonance-awakened-chapter-5","global-gods-skill-resonance-awakened-chapter-3",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-gods-skill-resonance-awakened-cover.jpg"]
